interior rattle issue

yuwa · 03-26-2015, 04:33 AM

Im living in Pasadena LA. and my 2011 m3 is currently with 50k miles, and there are so many rattle inside while im driving it. it make me feel so sad about BMW's quality. i feel like the rattle is from glove box, door panel, and the part behind center arm rest. i brought the car to New Century BMW for 2 times, and they never fixed the problem, they just bring more and more rattle. im wondering if anyone experiencing the same problem, and can give me some advise that where i should go to solve the problem. thanks

There is a massive rattle thread here, search and you'll find the solution more than likely.

The other day I heard a weird noise from inside the cabin while driving on the highway too. Turns out it's from the plastic piece right below the rear view mirror. It looks like two halves of plastic that is glued together or something. After I figured out it was coming from there I squeezed the two pieces together and the sound went away. I attached a picture of what I'm talking about. It sounds kinda hollow in there so when it vibrates it's quite annoying.

Yeah, that's a fine example of the German Fisher-Price plastic used throughout the car. I had to disassemble that pig and assemble it with krytox for the noise to subside.

Maybe one of the locking tabs broke and it's loose. Mine was so I bought new pieces.

i can't agree more. I have F10 that makes alot of interior rattle as well. but no time to fix the rattle and the dealership won't have a look into it.
